I saw

two beings

not of this world

stand on the peaks

of twin mountains glaring 

eyes fixed on each other and yelling

and bleating out in shrill voices

my human mind wondering

what could incite this 

wretched animus

in pure beings

in the valley

gathered

more

still

watching

these duels

I began to fear

that the world behind

ours was about to break until

then the two turned their little heads

to excitedly explain simply that

they were shouting in joy

because they were together

and it had just been play 

an ancient game

that can last

a long

time
